1. Expired veCRV lock

   Curve

   $2,240 · 1 position

   Your veCRV lock ended but the CRV was never withdrawn. It is still locked in the contract until you call withdraw.

   1. Open the veCRV VotingEscrow contract on Etherscan, Write Contract.
   2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw().
   3. If the owner is a smart contract that cannot make this call, the CRV stays locked.

2. Tethys (Metis) LP tokens

   $359 · 1 position

   Tethys (Metis) is a closed exchange. Your liquidity-pool (LP) tokens still give a share of the tokens in the pair contract. The website is gone, so you use the contracts directly.

   1. Find the pair contract in the 'pair' column of your row. If your LP tokens are staked in a farm, withdraw them there first.
   2. Approve the LP tokens to this exchange's old router contract, then call removeLiquidity on it in the explorer's Write tab.
   3. Never send LP tokens to the pair by hand: anyone can call burn first and take them. If no router works, ask a developer.

3. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

   $80 · 1 position

   You locked CRV in veCRV and earned fee rewards in 3CRV from the old Curve fee distributor, but never claimed them. They are still in the contract.

   1. Open the contract's Write tab on the block explorer and connect your wallet.
   2. Call claim with your address. Anyone can call it; the tokens go to you.
   3. If many weeks are unclaimed, repeat the call; each call covers up to 20 weeks.
   4. Check your wallet for the 3CRV.

4. FTM never moved to Sonic (S)

   Fantom to Sonic

   $4 · 1 position

   You hold FTM on Ethereum that was never moved to S on Sonic. Sonic's guide says the Sonic Gateway bridges it 1 to 1.

   1. Open the Sonic Gateway and connect the wallet that holds FTM on Ethereum.
   2. Select FTM (Ethereum), enter the amount, click Bridge and approve the transactions.
   3. When the Claim button appears, claim your S on Sonic. Sonic's guide is from 2024, so check the Gateway still lists FTM (Ethereum).

5. Nerve LP tokens on BSC

   $2 · 1 position

   Nerve Finance on BSC is dead, but pool tokens still hold your share of the pool. They sit in your wallet or in the MasterMind farm.

   1. If your LP tokens are staked, call emergencyWithdraw(pid) on MasterMind 0x2EBe8CDbCB5fB8564bC45999DAb8DA264E31f24E (normal withdraw tries to pay dead rewards).
   2. Open the pool contract for your LP token on BscScan, Write tab, and call removeLiquidity or removeLiquidityOneToken.
   3. For Pancake LPs, use PancakeSwap's remove liquidity.

6. Alpaca staked ibTokens (FairLaunch)

   Alpaca Finance

   <$1 · 1 position

   You staked Alpaca ibTokens in the old FairLaunch farm on BNB Chain. The app is gone but the contract lets you take them out. The ibUSDC pool (pid 24) may not pay.

   1. Open FairLaunch 0xA625AB01B08ce023B2a342Dbb12a16f2C8489A8F on BscScan, Write Contract.
   2. Call withdrawAll(user, pid) with your address and the pool id, or emergencyWithdraw(pid).
   3. Then call withdraw(shares) on the ibToken vault to get the base token. Contract wallets must send from the contract.

7. Funds in old Ethereum contracts (2015-2021)

   <$1 · 1 position

   You have a balance in an old Ethereum contract (The DAO, EtherDelta, IDEX, the 2017 ENS registrar, DigixDAO and others). Each contract has its own withdraw call. Use the wallet that owns the position.

   1. The DAO: on the DAO token 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413 call approve(0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754, yourBalance). Then call withdraw() on the WithdrawDAO contract 0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754. It pays 1 ETH per 100 DAO.
   2. EtherDelta 0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819: from the wallet that deposited, call withdraw(amount) for ETH or withdrawToken(token, amount) for a token. Amounts are in the token's smallest unit.
   3. IDEX v1 0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208: call withdraw(token, amount). Use token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for ETH. It reverts if your last IDEX activity was fewer than 240 blocks ago.
   4. 2017 ENS registrar 0x6090a6e47849629b7245dfa1ca21d94cd15878ef: call releaseDeed(labelhash) for the name. The labelhash is keccak256 of the name without .eth. The deposit goes back to the deed owner.
   5. Other contracts (DigixDAO, Neufund and more): use the contract's own withdraw or refund function on Etherscan from the owner wallet. Check the contract's code first.

8. Harmony balance (chain halted)

   $0 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   Harmony proposed (non-binding, 7 Sept 2026) a final snapshot and an ERC-20 ONE airdrop on Ethereum. This list shows positions at the last block our data saw. You cannot sign anything on the chain now.

   1. Do not expect to withdraw this yourself. The chain is halted.
   2. Watch Harmony's official channels for the vote result and the snapshot rules.
   3. Keep access to your wallet. The proposal says the airdrop would go to the same address on Ethereum.
